A young child was walking home
And cutting cross the street
When he took a can of spray paint
And on walls sprayed "Eleet"
When all at once a mighty sound of gunshots he could hear
Those Gangsta's in the Hood

Yippedee doo
Doodly Dah Doh
Those Gangstas in the hood

He soon realized he had trespassed,
On their territory,
And in the alley their was
no escape that he could see!
But luckily a rival gang happened to join the fight,
Those Gangstas in the hood

Yipedee doo
Doodly Dah Doh
Those Gangstas in the hood

Their fightin hard to win the day,
And though there heart is set,
There's little hope that they will win,
and they ain't winnin yet,
And the kid took out a warning from the gang war that he saw
From Those Gangstas in the hood

Yipidee Doo,
Doodly Dah Doh,
Those Gangstas in the Hood
